HOAhomepage.com

Effective Date: September 1, 2026 | Last Updated: August 18, 2026

1. Introduction

RA Gordon Company operates HOAhomepage.com (the “Service”), a professional networking platform that allows users to create profiles, connect with other professionals, share content, and communicate with one another.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you. This Policy applies to our website located at http://hoahomepage.com.

By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

a. Information You Provide

  • Account and profile information: name, email address, phone number, password, profile photo, headline, employer, job title, industry, education history, skills, and similar professional details.
  • Content you create: posts, articles, comments, messages, endorsements, recommendations, and any files, images, or documents you upload (including resumes/CVs).
  • Network information: connection requests, connections, followers, groups you join, and pages you follow.
  • Communications: messages you send other users through the Service, and correspondence you send to us directly (e.g., support requests).
  • Payment information: if you purchase a premium subscription, post a job listing, or make any other payment, our third-party payment processor collects your billing details. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers.

b. Information Collected Automatically

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, and timestamps.
  • Location data: approximate location inferred from your IP address. If you enable location services on a mobile device, we may collect precise location with your permission.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies, pixels, and local storage to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and understand how the Service is used. See our [Cookie Policy] for details and your choices.

c. Information From Third Parties

  • If you register or log in using a third-party account (e.g., Google single sign-on), we receive basic profile information from that provider as permitted by your settings with them.
  • If you choose to sync your device contacts or an external address book to find connections, we collect the contact information you choose to share for that purpose.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and maintain your account and profile.
  • Operate core features: connections, messaging, feed, search, and content sharing.
  • Personalize your experience, including content recommendations and “people you may know” suggestions.
  • Send administrative communications, security alerts, and Service-related notices.
  • Send notifications and messages you have opted into, including by email, push notification, and SMS/text message (see Section 10 below).
  • Maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Service, including detecting fraud, spam, and abuse.
  • Analyze usage trends and improve the Service.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising purposes.

4. How We Share Information

a. With Other Users

Certain profile information is visible to other users, or to the public, depending on your privacy settings — for example, your name, headline, employer, and any content you choose to post publicly. Connections may see additional details you make visible to your network.

b. With Service Providers

We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, email and SMS delivery, customer support tooling, analytics, and payment processing. These providers are contractually restricted to using your information only to provide services to us.

c. For Legal Reasons

  • To comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
  • To investigate or address potential violations of our Terms of Service.
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of HOAhomepage.com, our users, or the public.

d. Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have.

e. What We Do Not Do

We do not sell personal information to data brokers or advertisers, and we do not share personal information with third parties for their own advertising purposes.

5. Your Choices and Rights

a. Profile and Privacy Settings

You can control the visibility of your profile and activity through your account settings, including who can see your profile, connections, and posts.

b. Communication Preferences

  • Email: you can opt out of non-essential marketing emails via the unsubscribe link in any such email. You cannot opt out of essential service and security emails while your account is active.
  • Push notifications: manageable through your device settings.
  • SMS/text messages: governed by Section 10 below — consent for marketing texts is separate from your account registration and can be withdrawn at any time.

c. Access, Correction, and Deletion

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to receive a portable copy of it. To make a request, contact us using the information in Section 13. We will verify your identity before fulfilling any request.

d. State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have additional statutory rights, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. As stated above, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no sale/share to opt out of at this time. If this changes, we will update this Policy and provide the required opt-out mechanism (e.g., a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link).

e. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, we will remove or de-identify your personal information in accordance with our data retention practices described below, except where retention is required for legal, security, or legitimate business purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. After account deletion, we may retain certain information for a limited period to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and maintain security (for example, records needed to prevent a banned user from re-registering).

7. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption of data in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Age Requirement

The Service is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a user under 18, we will take steps to delete it. If you believe a user under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 13.

9. Third-Party Links and Integrations

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or allow integrations with third-party services (such as single sign-on providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. SMS / Text Messaging Consent

DRAFTING NOTE: This is the section your Formidable/Twilio integration will point to. Because you collect phone numbers at registration across all forms, make sure the checkbox/consent language on those forms matches this section word-for-word, and that consent for SMS is a SEPARATE, unchecked-by-default checkbox — not bundled into your general Terms acceptance. TCPA requires distinguishable consent per message type (e.g., 2FA/security texts vs. marketing texts).

a. Types of Messages

If you provide your phone number and opt in, [COMPANY NAME] may send you text messages for the following purposes:

  • Account security: one-time passcodes, login verification, and security alerts (“Transactional Messages”).
  • Service notifications: connection requests, messages, and activity alerts you have chosen to receive by SMS (“Notification Messages”).
  • Marketing: promotions, product updates, and other marketing communications, only if you separately opt in (“Marketing Messages”).

b. Consent

By checking the applicable box and providing your phone number, you consent to receive the corresponding category of text messages from us at the number provided, which may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or similar technology. Consent to receive Marketing Messages is not a condition of creating an account or using the Service. Transactional Messages related to account security may be sent regardless of marketing opt-in status, as they are necessary to operate your account.

c. Message Frequency and Charges

Message frequency varies depending on your account activity and settings. Message and data rates may apply, as determined by your mobile carrier. [COMPANY NAME] is not responsible for charges from your wireless carrier.

d. Opt-Out and Help

  • To stop receiving text messages at any time, reply STOP to any message, or update your notification preferences in your account settings. You may continue to receive Transactional Messages necessary for account security even after opting out of Marketing or Notification Messages.
  • For help, reply HELP to any message, or contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL / PHONE].

e. Supported Carriers

[COMPANY NAME] is not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. [Insert supported carrier list or standard disclaimer, e.g., “Supported carriers include AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and most major US carriers. Carrier coverage may vary.”]

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on the Service prior to the change becoming effective. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised.
